VITET, LUDOVIC (1802-1873)

This article appears in Volume V28, Page 148 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: VIR-WAT
VITET, LUDOVIC (1802-1873) , French dramatist and politician, was born in Paris on the 18th of October 1802. He was educated at the 1 cote Normale. His politics were liberal, and he was a member of the society " Aide-toi, le ciel t'aidera." On the
triumph
  of liberal principles in 183o Guizot created an office especially for Vitet, who became inspector-general of historical monuments. In 1834 he entered the Chamber of Deputies, and two years later was made a member of the
Council
  of State. He was consistent in his monarchist principles, and abstained from taking any
part
  in politics during the second
empire
 . The disasters of 187o-71 reawakened Vitet's
interest
  in public affairs, and he published in the Revue des deux mondes his optimistic " Lettres sur le siege de Paris." He died in 1873.
Vitet was the author of some valuable works on the history of art, and his Monographic de l'Eglise Notre Dame de
Noyon
  (1845) especially did much to awaken popular
interest
  in architecture. In the early days of the Romantic
movement
  he wrote some vivid dramatic sketches of the time of the League. They are: Les Barricades, scenes historiques (1826), Les Etats de Blois, scenes (1827), and La Mort de Henri III. (1829), all three being published together in 1844 with the title of La Ligue. The best of these is the Etats de Blois, in which the murder of the duke of Guise is described in the most convincing manner.
